JOHN E. "JACK" COTTER Jr.

I did seminars or road shows for Transamerica in the mid to late 80's and always enjoyed going to Boston to see Jack and host meetings for him and his brokers. He and I went to dinner at least a couple of times at Legal Seafood. Not sure why I recall that, but I do. Jack was a good man and I am sorry about his passing. Dan Bradley, not sure you;d see this, but I think I recall you, too! Didn't you have offices in Hartford and Springfield? As I also recall, you, like me, are a big Lakers fan....

Remember our partnership with Transamerica Life Companies. Jack mastered the ability to work hard and to play hard. I wish we could have worked together as a team. Lift High the Cross on Eagles Wings... Fly High and Strong... Your Brother In Christ... Danny O Bradley Irish Financial Consultant... Hope to be with you in Heaven Skiing the Deep Powder...

Jack was a great guy, a genuine character of great decency and compassion. Jack and I went to basic training at Fort Jackson, SC in 1966. Jack couldn't help smiling and joking even during 95 degree drill days. We got together several times over the years with Fred Burke. I am very sorry for his family's loss as Jack was a true gem, a prince among men. You couldn't help but smile when you saw jack with a steel helmet bouncing on his head. He added fun and humor to all occasions.

Shelley, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Hello my dear, dear, friend, it is with great sadness and total sense of loss that you will not be coming to Naples again. I can't help but thinking of our lunch date at the Pub in The Village Shops . It was liked seemed just a week ago. You are my friend Jack, and I will never forget your smile and witty way of humor. Give Edward and Patty Duke a hug for me brother. Smile and Dance my dear friend. I got Ellen's back if and when she comes here buddy just like Patty. Rest in peace my brother...

Ellen, Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Jack will be missed. We love you............

Hi Ellen, I'm so sorry to learn of Jack's passing. He was a great guy who mentored me in the insurance industry. I'll always remember going to Bruins games with him and his great parties over in Charlestown. My thoughts and prayers are with you, Jack and your family.
